Santos / Photo / Thursday, January 26th

Greetings to all readers. After yesterday's story about Santos I wanted to give you another update. Santos was seen yesterday by Honduran doctors at San Felipe Hospital. The direct organization that will be paying for most of this is 'World Pediatric Project.' The name in Honduras is 'Operation Footprint.' You may go to www.sandyinhonduras.org for more information about that group. Our (Mission Honduras LeMars) role in this whole attempt to help this little boy is basic and yet at the same time wonderful. I am pleased that Frank and Julio are assisting.
Santos did meet all the criteria for surgery on his badly deformed feet. As I write this on Thursday morning he is scheduled for surgery this Saturday morning. A team of United States Orthopedic doctors will be doing the work. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Continue to keep little Santos and his family in your prayers. Santos has 7 brothers and sisters at home in Montana de la Flor.
I have posted a new photo from yesterday before his evaluation at San Felipe Hospital. You can clearly see how badly his feet are deformed. I will keep you posted on this little fellow.
Take Care,
R. Seivert
